:arrow: No, just dumb.

That. Is a COOL idea! Multifuel engines are relatively inexpensive, and can be run on chicken fat if it is hot or even poo gas. While a six cylinder multifuel is big overkill for home power generation, it would work great with a battery bank to charge and an inverter. That way it only runs when...

Now that's concise!

So besides parking trailers, I would like to be able to haul my motorcycles on a hitch carrier. My KTM 950 is too tall to get in the back under the roof bows so I figure I am stuck with a hitch carrier or a trailer. My wife came outside to see what I was up to. I told her of my plans to build a...

Continued: The bottom of the hitch ended up being 32" high. A lower hitch would have been better for intended use, but would have looked ugly sticking down lower, and could possibly interfere with stump jumping, so I elected to tuck it up under the bumper. I painted it with my favorite clean...

I have looked at the threads for rear receiver hitches, on Esmerelda I just bought a 34" wide one for a Chevy pickup. Parking shorter wheelbase trailers is pretty tough with the deuce, so I decided to build a front receiver hitch. I didn't make any drawings like usual, but I did take some...

+1 Please spend a couple of days reading the hot rodding section and you will find the answers you want on getting more HP. It is all there.

At first glance I thought it was an old tow type road grader, they look a lot like that. With the windlass in the center it is designed for lift and carry. As stated previous, it would work great for lifting and moving a harrow or disc from one field to the next. A lot of the older implement...

Desired Outcome in Emergency Situation What I would strive for is a comfortable existence in the location of my choice. We have to realize that most of the planet that is inhabitable, already is. Most of the food sources are already spoken for and utilized. If I were to evacuate to someplace...

Emergency Preparedness - Sans Zombies Most of us know that the likelihood of flesh eating zombies becoming a real hazard for us to be concerned about is minimal, so from now on I will make no further reference to them. What does happen every day somewhere in the world are earthquakes...

I agree. My interest is in Emergency Preparedness. People love to talk about tossing zombies aside! :-D A close second is any discussion of Chupacabras. Perhaps we could do with less of the whimsical and more of the practical though. The northwest is a pretty active earthquake zone. Part of...

Not offended at all, just mildly annoyed. It seems that in some threads, if someone strays off topic -just-a-bit- a zealous mod will jump in, smack them, and delete their "offending" posts. So it's OK if you do it? Since you are a mod it would seem that you would be familiar with the forum...

I have the 46" tires on my Deuce, I had turned up the pump one turn and installed a pyrometer before putting on the new tires. I find that it is a little too high geared now to comfortable start in 2nd gear, but on the road the power seems the same. I still pull steep hills in southern Oregon...

Could start here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/alternative-fuels/14940-last-ditch-fuel-choices-multifuel.html Last time I made a politically oriented post it was deleted by a moderator. Are religious admonitions OK in response to a fuels question?

Made a trip to Napa yesterday. They looked through the books. And looked. Finally they gave me a nice new copy of the filter book and sent me on my way. They didn't want to do the work. The filters and bases I have been finding mostly have bypasses built in. This is going to take a lot of work...

Thanks for starting this specific discussion. I was just going to :-D For oil purity nothing beats the centrifuge. I have limited room and want to clean the oil as I pick it up so that I am only hauling and storing clean oil. I have no room for a cleaning setup in my suburban garage. I was...

That's a great idea for an inverter! You can buy them pretty cheap on Craigs List with bad batteries. I think I have a Smart UPS 2200 sitting around that needs batteries, it would work fine.

I see I am too late to the party, but I was going to suggest that it would ruin your motor and not to burn it. Ship it to me and I will ruin my motor with it!:-D

My sender was bad and I ended up installing a Stewart Warner mechanical gauge from Napa, it was about $45. Only downside is that there is no gauge illumination.
